Look at how many people it takes to broadcast esports competitions

From a WaPo article about new first person shooter Valorant:
Broadcasting a first-person shooter can be extremely complicated, as the Overwatch League has demonstrated. Last season, for its broadcasts, the league had a production team of about 80 people sending out 30 video feeds. Included in this staff were six people whose whole job was to decide which in-game characters and camera angles to show.
